Dalic did a good homework on the teams in group D. I see them going far. but still observed weaknesses in their back line. ..though the much maligned Strinic has acquitted himself so far. 1 Like |

All I see now are some folks gauging their hearts against "in case we fail".... ![]() ![]() And someone (Elyte I think) said in 2002, we saw two European teams qualify and it is likely to happen again. Well I got some additional info for you fella since you wanna use the tool of history.... In 2002, we faced Argentina in our first game and we lost and crashed out. In 2010, we faced Argentina in our first game, we lost again and we crashed out even when all we needed was a win against Korea but it was not to be, sadly. Even Yakubu missed a chance Mbappe buried today. We have never advanced to the next round after playing Argentina first in a WC edition. Now look at the next pattern... In 1994, we played Argentina second and we qualified. In 2014, we played Argentina third and we still qualified. We have always qualified from a group having Argentina when we don't play them first. It is funny that the only years we have never advanced from the group stage have been when we fell to Argentina in our first game (2002 and 2010). Now I know History can be funny some times and sometimes, patterns remain and are sometimes changed but this is the pattern right now. In 2018, I have a feeling that this will be the year we break this Jinx of never beating a South American team at a World cup ONLY IF WE CAN RISE, SHOW FORTH THE TRUE POWER OF NAIJA AND BEAT ICELAND TOMORROW. Before, it used to be the jinx of never beating a south American team at senior level but we broke that jinx properly just last year with that 4-2 win although we did same in 2011 in a 4-1 win over Argentina but that result was never looked upon with the respect it deserves because we played a BC-Class Argentine team then. The game against Iceland will determine it all. It is indeed the game of our lives and possibly will be the most interesting in Group D yet. #SoarSuperEagles #IBelieve ![]() 4 Likes 1 Share |

Understand. Don't miss the point. Understand before you wrongfully take the path of players downgrade again. How good are the Argentines in midfield and defence? They simply stood no chance. But unlike Argentina, we have the midfield and defence that can make life hell for them. They only got the attack better than we do. We saw that game last November, almost all those players played here today except Messi. In using tactics, the players used with respect to a team's strengths is key. For Nigeria (vs Iceland now), these two players are among such key playing personnel. We are not the wack Argentine team with a porous midfield and a lazy defence, we have our strengths and we must use the most effective players to make our own tactics work far more effectively. forgiveness: 1 Like |

Only in 1998. In 2002, 2006, and 2014, they lost. It is their most previous WC trends of losing first games that bothered them coming into this tournament. They have broken that hoodoo in Russia now. Lol safarigirl: 3 Likes |
